▼a This thesis investigates the relationship between oil prices and environmental quality. While Chapters 1 and 2 empirically study the prices of a petroleum product, gasoline, Chapter 3 theoretically analyzes crude oil prices. Overall, the environmental effects of these prices are investigated throughout the chapters of this thesis. The first two chapters examine the effect of increasing the price of gasoline by up to 83% in the energy-subsidized economy in Kuwait. While the first chapter estimates the environmental quality improvements resulting from the price reform, the second chapter examines how consumers responded and the measures they took to adapt to the gasoline subsidy-reform policy. Finally, the third chapter develops a nonrenewable resource model to examine whether low oil prices lead to better or worse environmental quality.Chapter 1 estimates the improvements in environmental quality, proxied by carbon dioxide concentrations, in Kuwait as a result of the country's reform of gasoline prices. In a command and control economy in which the public authority controls energy prices, such as Kuwait, understanding the environmental and behavioral implications of a change in energy pricing policy is crucial. In 2016, the Kuwaiti government increased gasoline prices by 42- 83% |
